A Few Items from the Publishing World

Here's how you can help save Salt and all our work with hundreds of authors around the world.

1. Please buy just one book, right now. We don't mind from where, you can buy it from us or from Amazon, your local shop or megastore, online or offline. If you buy just one book now, you'll help to save Salt. Timing is absolutely everything here. We need cash now to stay afloat. If you love literature, help keep it alive. All it takes is just one book sale. Go to our online store and help us keep going.

It's somewhat depressing to think that all the poetry publishers are finding things so hard. Unfortunately I've probably already exceeded my book buying budget this year. I've been trying to support local poets, and there are a couple more book launches coming up locally, so probably those are the ones I will buy.
